  Biography, Jared Williams

  
  

• Notes

  Were Jared and Thomas twins? or did Ms. Bond have one or the other dates confused? Note that Jared's Bible, as quoted in Tyler's Quarterly, lists his date as 1766. "The History of Western Maryland [by J. Thomas Scharf, Phila. v. I, p. 279] chronicles under the Heading: 'Montgomery County Representative Men' the following sketch, and it seems a bit strange in that Jared Williams although born in Montgomery County, Maryland, had removed with his family to Virginia when a lad of 13 or 14 years: "'Jared Williams was born in Montgomery County, Md, March 4th, 1766 and died in Frederick County, Va. Jan 2d, 1831. He was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1811 and served several terms. He was a representative in Congress from Virginia from 1819 to 1825; Presidential Elector in 1820, and voted for General Jackson and was appointed by the Electoral College to transmit the vote to Washington.' "Jared Williams married Martha Carson on May, 27th 1790. He is said to have lived near Front Royal, Va., from the time of his marriage until 1800, when he removed to the farm given him by his father near Stevens City. Here he resided until his death on Jan. 2, 1831. He was a Jeffersonian Democrat in politics and an 'old school Baptist' in religion. His horseback trip to Washington with the record of the vote of the Electoral College for General Jackson as President is noted in all biographical sketches of him. "His children were 10 [12] in number." There follows a list copied from the Jared Williams family Bible -- Goodnight, Scott H. and Gertrude H. "The Ancestry of the Nicholas Pitman Family; Williams Line," Tyler's Quarterly Magazine. n.v., n.d., p321.
